Coke Can Silo

I am married to the man who painted the Coke Can Silo. We live in Oklahoma now, but are both from Kansas. He lived in Emporia at the time that he painted the Coke Can and a Coors Can (which he painted with a partner, and was later removed for a highway project). He used red epoxy paint on the Coke Can so it wouldn't fade so quickly. He still paints as a hobby. Funny how people are now making money from photos of his art.

On Graphic Arts Road by Emporia High School this can be seen by all. This is an old silo that someone has painted to look like a giant Coca-Cola can.

The "Classic" brand labeling was hastily created after the new Coke formula marketing disaster of 1985. The labeling distinction was finally retired in 2009, so this silo may become a historic landmark of sorts.

This silo advertisement for a refreshing Coca Cola from Spartan's can be seen in Emporia, Kansas just northeast of the KTA turnpike entrance. There used to also be a Coor's beer Silo but it was razed to make room for a highway project.
